I think the Makefile already supports DESTDIR; try using:

make install \
	DESTDIR=%{buildroot} \
	bindir=%{_bindir} \
	helpdir=%{_datadir}/%{name} \
	mandir=%{_mandir}

instead of:

make install \
	bindir=%{buildroot}%{_bindir} \
	helpdir=%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name} \
	mandir=%{buildroot}%{_mandir}
